Monta Ellis suspended for 30 games = $4 million

Official Statement.

He will be out without pay through December 17th, a game against Indiana. This coincides with the time needed for his ankle rehab anyway. And the Warriors save enough money to pay Ronny Turiaf this year. Everybody wins :-)

I'll bet that hurts almost as much as the ankle.

Consider that of the $11 million he will earn this season, half goes to the feds right off the top, which means that after this fine, his net for the season is $3.5 million and he still must pay state and local taxes, too. Good thing for Monta that gas prices are down!

Not to mention

Bay area housing is horrid. I’ve heard that guys go there and get a pay raise, then after housing and taxes, it turns into a pay cut.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

I also heard that

they can void his contract at any time they want now too. No more screw ups, and your game better not decline.

Clearing Room For The Blazers Out West

As the playoff picture begins to take shape it becomes clear that the Western Conference is one big game of musical chairs. There are nine viable playoff teams; unfortunately there are only eight playoff spots. For the Blazers to get a spot, one of last year's playoff teams needs to fall off. Someone's going to be caught standing when the music stops. The following are possible scenarios that could derail each team on their quest for playoff glory, helping the Blazers get back to the postseason for the first time since 2003.

Check out the other scenarios over at Bustabucket
